First time builder like I said, want to play games like WoW, eve online, and some newer steam games. Is this build appropriate for what I want. Thanks in advance

would suggest removing the hyper 212, and putting the money towards at least a 120 (honestly a 240+ Gig SSD) go check out this for possibly saving some money on something else: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXTqz3Fd28M.

the 32 gig drive would be better as only a cache drive... and you would most likely getting annoyed with it quickly.

Cheaper 240s i've had good results with are : adata, PNY 13xx series, Sandisk ssd plus

An SSD will break your budget, and you'd run out of space near instantly with those games you want to play (windows is 10-20GBs, Wow is 30gbs, eve another 30gb.) A good 7200RPM HDD will still work fine for games and the OS. Others saying it won't are confusing them with 5400rpm drives.

Building your own computer is easy. Building it takes 2-3 hours, and installing windows takes about 30mins to 45mins, and after that downloading and installing drivers takes another 30-45 mins. After all that, have it download windows updates at night, it may take a 2-4 passes to get them all.

Protip for installing drivers safely, install them one at a time and restart the computer after each install to avoid breaking the OS, which can happen if you try to install them all at once.

agree completely after re-looking at your list about the hard drive, made a few different choices from James here (4gig video card vs the 2gig / different psu for upgrading down the road, etc)
